The former world’s fastest bowler Shoaib Akhtar dismissed media report about him getting married to a 17-year-old girl.
Akhtar rejected the rumor while expressing his outrage on the social networking site Twitter.
“I would like to confirm that I’m not getting married to 17 year old girl,there is absolutely no truth in the story being reported..(Contd.)” he tweeted in the first part of his tweets.
“…If not me,atleast respect the girl! Totally False” he continued in the next tweet.
Urging reporters to be responsible, the bowling legend went on to say:
“Wishes are always welcome BUT NOT for some crap rumour…My journalist frends,I expect sensible reporting and not rumour spreading.Thanks!”
Reportedly, some media citing Shoaib Akhtar’s ‘family members’ reported that the almost 40 year-old cricketer is due to marry a 17-year-old girl from the rural hamlet of Haripur.
